1 Maccabees 7:40-42

Common English Bible

⁴¹ When the messengers
from the king of the Assyrians
        insulted us with words,
    your angel went out and struck down
        one hundred eighty-five thousand.
⁴² So crush this army before us today.
    Let the rest learn
    that he has spoken against
        your sanctuary in an evil way,
    and judge him for this wickedness.
